The GPS on this phone drifts a lot and sometimes puts me blocks away from my current location. When I'm using Google maps for example, the blue current location dot is moving around a lot and sometimes far from where I'm actually standing. This happens both indoors and outdoors. Is anyone else experiencing poor GPS location accuracy on the S24 FE?

Edit: location accuracy always shows low on Google Maps and I have not been able to get it to calibrate for the 3 weeks I've owned this phone.

Try increasing the accuracy in the location settings.

Everything is up to date including software update. I never had this issue with the Galaxy S20 FE.

Try using another navigating app like waze and see if there's any difference.
